Ingredients

• 240 ml Espresso or strong coffee
• 450 g Low sodium mascarpone cheese
• 240 ml Heavy cream
• 100 g Granulated sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 4 units Egg yolks
• 24 units Ladyfingers
• 2 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 tbsp Marsala wine or low-sodium rum

Directions

Step 1

Begin by brewing the espresso or strong coffee and allow it to cool. You can use decaffeinated coffee if desired.

Step 2

In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and half of the granulated sugar until combined.

Step 3

Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the bottom does not touch the water. Whisk continuously for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture becomes pale and slightly thickened.

Step 4

Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream with the remaining sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.

Step 6

Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese into the whipped cream mixture until smooth and no lumps remain.

Step 7

Now, gently fold the whipped egg yolk mixture into the mascarpone cream mixture until well incorporated.

Step 8

Combine the cooled coffee with marsala wine or low-sodium rum.

Step 9

Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring not to soak them entirely as they become too soft.

Step 10

Arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Step 11

Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers evenly.

Step 12

Repeat the process with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.

Step 13

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but overnight is recommended for the best flavor.

Step 14

Before serving, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine mesh sieve.

Step 15

Cut into squares and serve chilled.
